Very nice. 8) Nice to see someone take to task that which he wants rather than continually wish and wonder why it's not cataloged. Kudos to you sir! I do like the front sight and the grips...the stripe...I like it. :)

I think Andy is one of the best kept secrets in the custom revolver world. Sure, guys know of him but they don't realize how nice his work is and he seems to have one of the fasted turn around times for a small shop. I probably shoot my "L'il gun" in 41 Special more than any of my single actions.

Nice gun! I just got a couple of sights from Bowen that I've been waiting a couple months for. I bet yours will be along shortly :)

That is very nice. How about another picture of the front site as well. If you post a picture of the other side that is. Thanks for Sharing!

That is a Stroh model available at the link below, I think it has the best lines of all the front sights out there. he also has ones that need soldered with the same style.

........ waiting for Bowen rear sight.

I'd probably have a different caliber, but the gun is d*** near perfect as is. The excellent BOWEN Target rear is my favorite for a custom gun.

If finances permit, a set of PAUL PERSINGER ivories sure are nice.
